About Ella Networks
We build production-ready private networks for businesses.
Canadian company • Founded in 2025
Our Principles
Everything we build is grounded in three principles.
Simplicity
You shouldn’t need to be a Telco expert to run your own private network.
Reliability
We build systems that work — under pressure, in the field, and at scale.
Security
We use secure protocols, safe defaults, and audit mechanisms to protect our users.
Our Belief in Open Source
Telecommunications protocols are built on open standards. We believe that there should be reliable, well-tested, and modern implementations of those standards — available to everyone. That’s why Ella Core is fully open source, distributed under the permissive Apache 2.0 license.
We follow best practices from the broader open source world: from architecture and design to versioning and issue tracking.
How Ella Networks Started
Ella Core initially started as a side project by Guillaume Belanger in May 2024. The project was born out of both drive and frustration: a drive to build intuitive Telco systems — and a frustration with the complexity, bloat, and opacity of the status quo. Ella Networks Inc. was founded in 2025 to bring this vision to life.
